Disaster Relief Available for Residents

Post Date:02/04/2023 8:33 AM
Federal disaster aid has been approved for residents of Contra Costa County. Residents who have sustained property and business damage from the 12/31/22 – 1/30/23 series of Winter storms can seek assistance directly from FEMA.

 

Residents should apply online at www.disasterassistance.org or call 1-800- 621-3362. Applying does not guarantee that assistance will be awarded.

 

A Federal Emergency Management Agenda (FEMA) mobile disaster recovery center has opened for Contra Costa County residents impacted by the December and January winter storms to connect with federal recovery resources in person.  The Mobile FEMA Center is available:

  • Richmond Civic Center Parking Lot, between 24th and 25th streets in Richmond. Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, Feb. 26-March 1
  • Community Presbyterian Church, 200 E. Leland Road in Pittsburg. Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, March 2-4

The mobile center helps residents with FEMA individual assistance.

Those seeking assistance from state agencies, or the Small Business Administration should visit the Recovery Center in Danville.  The Danville FEMA Center at 510 Gonda Way, Danville, remains open for residents — depending on need— 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through March 1 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily through March 16. The site is closed Sunday, March 5, and Sunday, March 12.

Contra Costa County has a great FAQ, with emergency contacts, and resources for residents who were impacted by the series of storms from December 31, 2022, to January 30, 2023.
